Five urban fantasy series about policing the supernatural

Melissa F. Olson is the author of six Old World novels for 47North as well as the upcoming Tor.com novella Nightshades. One entry on her list of "five urban fantasy series where partners in an actual government agency have to deal with otherworldly threats," as shared at Tor.com:

The Jaz Parks Novels by Jennifer Rardin

I recently wrote a blog post praising Rardin, who was one of the bigger names in urban fantasy as it was exploding during the mid-‘00s. Her series is about two CIA assassins, a butt-kicking, mouthy female narrator and her centuries-old vampire partner. There’s some great worldbuilding here, and the espionage/CIA angle provides a fresh twist to a popular format.
